FULL PROGRAM FOR DAY 2
Conserving C20 Architecture: Hearts and Minds vs Bricks/Concrete and mortar
Catherine Croft
Director, 20th Century Society
Conserving C20 architecture needs more than just vigorous campaigning for individual buildings. Changing the over-arching narrative, and debunking negative myths and preconceptions is just as vital. How can we best support a positive climate for preserving the recent past and what are the primary challenges for ensuring a successful future for C20 heritage?
The Transformation of 78 Derngate, Northampton
Rob Kendall
Chair of Friends of 78 Derngate
In January 1998, 78 Derngate Trust was formed with the main aim of restoring the terraced house, which was designed and remodelled by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1916. The Trust setup a Friends organisation with the main aim of meticulously restoring the property and opening it to the public. 78 Derngate along with 80 & 82 has undergone an amazing transformation, ensuring that visitors can easily navigate through the three houses and their gardens.
